Nice. I find these older games just too hard for me :) I think I beat the first level, but it then quickly becomes more difficult. Yeah, I never knew there were bosses in this game until now *^_^* In the PC version there is no saving of games either, there is a password given after each boss which …

I'm currently playing GODS off of The Bitmap Brothers Compilation, using the MT32 of course. bitmapbros01.jpg It's one of those games I've casually played many times but have never tried to focus on playing through the whole thing. The first two levels were fine but the third took me quite a few …

I use a HP LP2065 for my old PCs and it works OK, cost me $20 on eBay. The only real issue is it sometimes flakes out when using very low resolutions, goes black for about half a second then back to normal. Not very often though, maybe only see it a couple of times in an hour, so I havn't …

I played through the first one recently, I liked it mostly, it has a lot of good aspects to it and a couple not so good. The grid based but not turn based feature was interesting I thought, as I've never really played another game like it, you need to use different tactics to a regular RPG which was …

Bought a couple of Toshiba Laptops, the T3100e is a 286-12 and the T2130CS is a 486-75. The 486 is working fine, but can't get the 3100 to post sadly. laptops.jpg I reckon a 3100 model Toshiba laptop was one of the first PCs I ever used, when I was about 8 years old my Dad brought one home for his …
